Lyrics

Why don't you (F)swing down, sweet chariot,

stop and let me ride.

(C7)Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride.

(F7)Rock me, Lord, (Bb)rock me, Lord,

(F)calm and easy.

Well (G7)I've got a home on the (C7)other (F)side.

Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot,

stop and let me ride.

(C7)Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride.

(F7)Rock me, Lord, (Bb)rock me, Lord,

(F)calm and easy.

Well (G7)I've got a home on the (C7)other (F)side.

Why don't you side.

(Swing, swing, swing, swing.)

Well, well.

(Swing, swing, swing.)

Well, well, well, well.

(Swing, swing, swing.)

Ezekiel went down in the middle of the field,

He saw i an angel workin' on a chariot wheel.

Wasn't n't so particular 'bout the char in' iot wheel,

just wanted to see how a chariot feel.

Why don't you (C7)other (F)side.

Well, I got a Father in the Promised

Land, (C7)ain't gonna stop until I shake

His hand.

(F7)Rock me, Lord, (Bb)rock me, Lord,

(F)calm and easy,

(G7)I've got a home on the (C7)other (F)side.

Why don't you swing down, sweet chariot,

stop and let me ride;

(C7)Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride.

(F7)Rock me, Lord, (Bb)rock me, Lord,

(F)Calm and easy.

Well, (G7)I've got a home on the (C7)other (F)side.
